Federal Appeals court in Illinois determined a citizens right to concealed carry is NOT protected under the second amendment.... Another claiming that a ban on concealed carry is NOT unconstitutional.

So it's going to the Supreme Court.

People, WAKE UP... the government is pushing towards a restriction on our abilities to defend ourselves. This is a joke given it all sprang from a school shooting in which an individual OPEN CARRYING a rifle killed a bunch of people.

Much stronger visible presence in their face, exposing them for the hypocrisy and ignorance of their actions. It's easy to legislate away other peoples rights when you are not subjected to the same restrictions. There are plenty of legal and non-violent ways to "reinforce" that they work for us. I want them looking over their shoulders like the cowards they are

There are some people that resort to violence sooner than later. I am not one of them
The 2nd Amendment was created EXACTLY to prevent what is happening today.

Every one calm down, they haven't appealed yet, and just writing a dissent. It won't go to SC.

edit: if they appeal, it may result in the supreme court changing the current ban on conceal and bite them in the ass.

Ummm, it has to. Two state courts have the complete opposite rulings concerning the constitutionality of concealed carry. Colorado ruled it is protected and Illinois ruled that it isn't. It MUST be heard by the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court doesn't have to hear anything. If you think otherwise, you're wrong. If you think there aren't hundreds of inner state contradictory laws, you're also mistaken. If it is heard in the Supreme Court, they'll probably overturn the current conceal ban in Illinois. If it even gets to that point.

You're right. They don't HAVE to hear anything but this will get there. It's a pretty big deal. Most likely, they will go against Illinois and not Colorado and the rest of the country.

umm , the court in Illinois decided the concealed carry ban was unconstiutional in December. The state has until June 9th to come up with a law that guides concealed carry .

The idiot Dems having been pushing for super tight restrictions, but if they try too hard it will be ruled unconstitutional again.

"Illinois is facing a June 9 deadline from the federal court to either pass a concealed-carry law or see anyone with a valid firearm owners’ card be able to carry any weapon they want almost anywhere they choose."
